Not necessarily. Does it smoke like this at an idle, or only at wot?

In general;
White smoke that dissipates quickly = coolant
Black smoke = excess fuel
blue gray lingering smoke = oil

I guess it could be possible that it is burning coolant at WOT. . . . Maybe. . .?

Are you sure coming out of exhaust? I say this because a shop overfilled my transmission one time, and it was pouring white smoke out at WOT out of overflow on tranny. You had tranny fluid changed recently?
